Turmeric Golden Milk Is The Indian Home Remedy You Can Drink Anytime
BY BRIAN UDALL
Turmeric golden milk is a caffeine-free, hot drink that tastes great and promotes health and vitality. It's a mix of turmeric and milk, often with added spices and sweetness.
The traditional recipe, which contains just turmeric, milk, and black pepper, has its roots in Ayurveda, a millennia-old Indian yogic practice of healthy, holistic eating.
For a warmer, more intense flavor, you could also try adding ginger and cinnamon to your turmeric golden milk. Mix in some honey or maple syrup if you enjoy sweeter tastes.
Whether dried or fresh, turmeric is a fantastic antioxidant thanks to its active ingredient, curcumin. Antioxidants are thought to protect the body from harmful free radicals.
Turmeric fans also proclaim its anti-inflammatory properties and consider turmeric golden milk as a natural home remedy to combat disease-causing chronic inflammation.
Lastly, turmeric golden milk could benefit your mind, too. While it's far from proven, some preliminary studies indicate that turmeric improves memory and might even boost mood.
